PbTeSnSe and GeSnTe compound semiconductors were studied by Sn-119 Mossbaue
r spectroscopy in the temperature range from 5 to 240 K. Analysis of temper
ature dependences of the quadrupole splitting of Mossbauer spectra measured
during a cooling-heating cycle confirmed the presence of off-center atoms
in these materials. (C) 2001 MAIK "Nauka/Interperiodica".
